Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike

Why We Like The Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike

The Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike is a gravel grinder built for fast, versatile riding and multi-surface racing featuring a lightweight carbon frame and Cervelo All-Carbon tapered carbon fork designed for a smooth, compliant, and fast ride over any terrain. The shorter reach angle provides greater stability by shifting back our center of gravity, while the steep head tube, longer top tube, and shorter stem reduce toe overlap for optimized stability and handling on technical terrain. To maintain performance-oriented handling and feel with optimized comfort over long distances, Cervelo improved the saddle and headtube compliance and added a threaded T47 bottom bracket that maintains stiffness with easy maintenance.

This Aspero comes fully spec´d with the SRAM Rival XPLR AXS drivetrain, a low-maintenance, reliable, and durable setup that is ready for anything we throw its way. In this 1 x 12-speed groupset, the 40t chainring pairs with our chosen gear from the 10-44t cassette to float us up any climb, power down any descent, or sprint to the finish line. The SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes provided crisp, trustworthy stopping on a moment´s notice when a competitor-or a squirrel-cuts us off. Last but certainly not least, as we roll on the impressively versatile Reserve 44|40 wheelset, we are provided the durability and stability we need for off-road exploration but with the aerodynamic advantages of a road wheel.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
